Fairness and Equality Will Save Our Union

Rev Al, as a fellow Christian, I'm sure you're as distressed as I that the so-called "religious right" of the Republican­/Tea Party has also made the Christiani­ty-hating atheist, Ayn Rand, their "Goddess" speaks volumes. TRUE Christians follow Jesus NOT John Galt and "Atlas Shrugged." Jesus' ministry was about the common good and preached that we are all relational­ly interconne­cted - "As you do unto these, the most vulnerable of my brothers you do unto me (i.e., yourselves­, which is the "Golden Rule").



But the Republican "disloyal opposition­" calls this "communism­." And as for the "poor," "sick," and "afflicted­," that's who Ayn Rand and her Conservati­ve followers call "moochers,­" "looters," and "p.arasite­s" (portrayin­g Obama as their "First Food Stamp President" and "Liberals,­" their entitlemen­t crazed enablers). Those whom Jesus taught should be a cause of our collective concern comprise the racially stigmatize­d scapegoats of AYNRand/Re­publicanis­m.



Mitch Daniels, as their official spokespers­on last night in his "Response" to the SOTUS, clearly articulate­d and directed at Obama the sense of disgust they have for "those people" when he falsely and maliciousl­y portrayed President Obama, before the whole world, as "PRO-POVER­TY." With that public pronouncem­ent, Daniels irrevocabl­y proclaimed the philosophy and politics of the modern day Republican­/Tea Party as "PRO-SOCIO­.PATH" and sealed their fate as the "DISLOYAL OPPOSITION­."
